U.S. Olympic Trials: Torri Huske Blisters American Record in 100 Butterfly Semifinals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Much has been made over the past several months about the rising tide of teenage talent in the United States. Specifically, the names of Regan Smith<\/strong>, Claire Curzan<\/strong> and Torri Huske<\/strong> have been frequently uttered, thanks to their multi-event ability and potential to be longtime fixtures for Team USA on the international stage.<\/p>\n

On the opening night of the United States Olympic Trials in Omaha, it was Huske who occupied the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Racing in the first of two semifinals in the 100-meter butterfly, Huske set an American record with a clocking off 55.78. That time erased the 2012 standard of 55.98, set by Dana Vollmer<\/strong> en route to the gold medal at the Olympic Games<\/a> in London. The time also made Huske the third-fastest performer in the history of the event, with Sarah Sjostrom\u2019s<\/strong> world record of 55.48 within striking distance during Monday night\u2019s final.<\/p>\n
